From the archives of Gary Kurtz, who produced Star Wars Episode IV – A New Hope and Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back, this Lightsaber was constructed from a vintage 1930s Graflex camera flash gun and the handle still has the original Graflex logo etched into it.

Edward Meyer, VP of Exhibits & Archives for Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, acquired the piece at the Profiles in History Hollywood Auction on June 28, 2017, for a staggering $450,000.
